Herpes zoster is a painful disease that can easily progress to postherpetic neuralgia if left untreated in the middle-aged, elderly and frail population. Here, I will use some pictures to give you a more visual impression of this disease and to prevent it. This is more typical of herpes zoster, which is clustered, translucent, and in a band-like distribution. At first glance, you may think it is a mark left by cupping. This is herpes zoster on the back of the chest. There is a common misconception that the more herpes zoster appears, the more serious the condition is. In fact, the number of shingles is not proportional to the severity of your condition. Shingles also tends to appear on the head and face, often invading the area where the first branch of the trigeminal nerve, the ophthalmic meridian, is located. Shingles on the back of the shoulder is often thought of as frozen shoulder in the early stages. Herpes zoster on the low back is often thought to be a common cause of low back pain such as lumbar strain in the early stages.
